the us ski team is experimenting with a silicone spray that supposedly works better than wax. 

wd40 is the same thing.  try that.

i am aware of how dumb this was..

a year or two ago, my skis seriously needed to be waxed, but i knew there was no way i could get them done before i planned to head out in the morning. having the same question as you, i looked around the garage and kitchen to see what i could do. under the sink my mom had some "mop glo" kinda product.. hell if i know.. and it was a floor wax for after you mopped your floors. i put some on my skis that night, before i left, and at the hill- just by squirting some on a papertowel and rubbing the bases.
needless to say, it kinda worked, in a pathetic sorta way. my skis were crap so i kinda didn't care how the end result would be. not really the best move if you ask me.

Furtinture polish. It'll only last a run or two though.

go to the ski shop there, buy rub on wax. put it on, wipe it off with paper towels at the mountain. it works great.

margarine would work better, full of oils that are used as lubricants commercially

I thought that this would be the first post before I even opened the thread ,but NS continues to surprise me.

And the WD-40 has me thinking of two cans taped to your tips, spraying the snow in front of your skis.
